Long-standing theories of mountain uplift have
never adequately explained the towering vertical features we often
observe. But the picture changes when researchers consider the
possible role of the electric force.

In conventional geological terms,
Patagonia
exhibits landscapes that are millions, if not hundreds of
millions of years old. The Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre mountain
peaks, shown above, are part of an extensive uplift
formation caused by the continuous folding and compression
of the continent. As
authors
Mariolina and Giorgio Ardrizzi write:

Scholars
believe that the origin of such a fragmented geography like
that which can be seen at present along the Patagonian
fjords and those of the Tierra del Fuego, can be put down to
four main factors:

1. the
meeting of the oceanic plate with the continental shelf;
2. complex exogenous phenomena, especially of erosion by
water that took place during the pre-Tertiary periods;
3. a period of intense glaciation, that started in the
last 2 million years and ended 14,000 years ago with the
last glaciation;
4. complex geological phenomena, especially bradyseisms
and earthquakes, which made the ground sink opening a
breach to the waters of the ocean that went kilometres
up the ancient valleys.

There are some characteristics that bring into question the
age of the features, however. Many of the
landforms
include rivers that empty into
lakes with no outlets.
If the lakes are part of such ancient geography, why have
they not been filled-in with debris from the eroding
mountain ranges that surround them?

The mountain ranges, such as Cerro Torre are composed of
basalt. They formed when lava flows engulfed thousands of
square kilometers, some reaching over nine thousand meters
thick. Standard theories of formation fail to explain the
terraced flanks
of the valleys carved into the mountains. Some of them are
blind canyons with hemispherical shapes that contain sharply
pointed central peaks. The peaks are carved in terraces just
like the canyon walls, another attribute that is very
difficult to explain. How can a sharp "volcanic" peak
demonstrate the same kind of terracing as the canyon wall?

Once
again, there appears to be no debris remaining from the
eroded lava. The valleys and canyons are thousands of meters
deep, but the talus slopes are very small, there are no
boulders on the valley floor, and no huge heaps of gravel or
glacial moraines are apparent. Where has all the eroded
material gone?

Another unusual feature of the basalt cliffs is the
pothole shaped depressions
incised into the top of the ridges. The holes contain water,
but they have no rivers feeding them and they have no
outlets. Although they are most likely filled in spring by
snowmelt, their rims are sharply defined and do not appear
to be eroded by wind or water. Another unusual aspect to
their structure is the
scour marks
that cross over them.

Electric discharge machining could provide an explanation.
In the historic phase of planetary instability envisioned by
electrical theorists, planets were engulfed by electric
discharge. In periods of intense arcing a trillion kilowatt
bolt of lightning could have shattered and vaporized the
rock, lofting it toward space, leaving the terraced cliffs
and deep holes bored into the ridges. A hallmark of such
activity would be the lack of debris and the smooth valley
floors. The excised material would have been removed in a
process akin to industrial plasma surface cleaning.

Authors David Talbott and Wallace
Thornhill introduce the reader to an age of planetary instability
and earthshaking electrical events in ancient times. If their
hypothesis is correct, it could not fail to alter many paths of
scientific investigation.

Professor
of engineering Donald Scott systematically unravels the myths of the
"Big Bang" cosmology, and he does so without resorting to black
holes, dark matter, dark energy, neutron stars, magnetic
"reconnection", or any other fictions needed to prop up a failed
theory.

In
language designed for scientists and non-scientists alike, authors
Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott show that even the greatest
surprises of the space age are predictable patterns in an electric
universe.
